GDES1010 Design:Skills And Theory

Session Review After completing the Gorrilaz CD cover my lecturer presented the class and I with a timed two-hour brief. Overall this went well after first thinking it said blue shore it was an actual blue shoe and I drew waves then refined it into a shoe with a wave. and a colleague gave an excellent critical service.

Tuesday 24th February 2015 Session Review I have begun to draw and ink the final hand rendering for my Gorrilaz CD cover. My first use of visual reference as to watch the music video for the song Dirty Harry from the album Demon Days and capture screenshots of the four band members Murdoc, 2d, Russel and Noodle. Overall I am truly satisfied with the final hand rendered results and look forward to colouring the drawing digitally once scanned to the computer on campus.

Tuesday 16th February 2015 Session Review I have begun to undertake some secondary research on some the artists that were provided in the class brief; however, I wrote down  list of some of my favorite artists that I believe will be also visually intriguing to draw. The album that I believed had the most potential was albums such as Electric Lady and Are You Experienced from The Jimi Hendrix Experience because the songs featured i that albums could be used as an influential reference in the overall album design. Songs from the track such as Purple Haze and All Along The Watch Tower.

Tuesday 10th March 2015 Session Review Today i have drawn the final hand rendering for my book cover variant of the book "Oranges ae not the only fruit". I must say I am truly satisfied with the final results, mostly with the simplicity in the drawing and the vibrance of the colours.

Friday 6th March 2015 Session Review  Today I undertow some secondary research on the selection of books available for the penguin books award competition. Furthermore, I read the brief in detail and wrote down key information such as the books, deadline date and entry requirements. I then watched a video to the winners of 2014 provided by the penguin site. I then proceeded to go the author Jeanette Winterson's website and do additionally background research on her and I discovered that the book Oranges are the not her only fruit is similar to her own experiences growing up in a Christian household.
